Today’s What I Ate Wednesday is a little different, as it highlights 6 different dinners rather than one single day of meals. Though I’d intended to prepare an entire week’s worth of vegan meals, trying the newly-opened Moe’s Original Barbecue (pretty tasty!) and visiting New Orleans on Saturday (when seafood beckons, you answer it!) got…
French Quarter Fest + MIMM #6
Hello, blog world! I don’t know about you, but I had to drag myself out of bed for work this morning. Yesterday was dreary and rainy (so much so that I stayed in my pajamas all day), but Saturday was action-filled and marvelously beautiful, so let’s focus on that. We left the house around 8:00…
Meeting Goals, Eating Pork, and Playing Hooky
Because everybody needs a “mental health day” (and because we both woke up not feeling well) Mark and I stayed home from work today. We crawled back into bed after our showers, and it was wonderful sleeping late, cuddling with the dog, and staying in our pajamas most of the day. After I started feeling…
A Falafel Failure + WIAW #23
This week (M-F) Mark and I have been eating completely vegan dinners (expect a wrap-up next week), and next up on our list was homemade falafel. I absolutely love falafel (next to my beloved hummus, it’s the best vehicle for chickpeas, though roasted chickpeas are a close third), but I’ve never made it myself. Because…
Raw, Vegan Zucchini “Pasta” and Marinara
This weekend I decided it was time to break out the julienne peeler, a stocking stuffer from my husband this past Christmas (yes, he pays attention, even to my lists). I have to say, it’s one of the best inventions ever! I’ve long wanted to try zucchini “pasta,” especially since reading blogs like one of…
Food Bloggers Against Hunger
I didn’t know about this event until this afternoon (after it had already gone live), but I still wanted to participate by sharing a post devoted to hunger. A few weeks ago, I reviewed the documentary, A Place at the Table (which can be viewed in your city or on demand at iTunes), and shared…
#22: What I Ate…Easter Edition
This past Easter was a wonderful one filled with quality family time and delicious food. Shortly after the in-laws arrived Friday evening, we enjoyed boiled crawfish (second time in 2 weeks). These little guys were larger than the last batch, but not quite as spicy. We slept late Saturday morning, joining my parents at their…
{MIMM} + SlimKicker Giveaway!
When a SlimKicker representative recently invited me to explore their website/app and host a giveaway for my readers, I was more than happy to oblige! What exactly is SlimKicker? In short, it’s a free website and app designed to turn dieting and exercising into a fun level-up game! Upon registering, users can track their calorie-intake…
WIAW #21…What’s with the cold?
The last couple of days have been windy and cold. I’m going to let that be the reasoning for skipping yesterday evening’s run (instead of my propensity for laziness and making excuses). Plus, after convincing Mark to sign up for Color Me Rad as well, I’m not too concerned about whether I run the entire…
Health in the Workplace
As health insurance premiums have sky-rocketed over the last decade, employers have begun to implement some creative changes in the office. This NYT article has shone the light on somewhat controversial practices and programs. I believe employer sanctioned and sponsored wellness initiatives are a wonderful idea on the surface. It’s no surprise that over-stressed, under-nourished,…
